Melanie - Friends & Co. lyrics

Too much singing for my living tonight Do a song for friends and company Too much is the matter with giving on spite Here's one for the giving and the other for free The straw that broke the camel's back Is blown upon my window sill I may look beaten but I don't look back When you break my heart You feed my will This should be an instrumental But it seems I've made up words Though they have a way of getting in the way What a way to be absurd It's a way of being heard Too much is the matter with giving on spite Here's one for the giving and the other for free Too much time for resting easy Not enough to sleep all night In the shooting star I take the dreaming weighs me down The doctor's right, is the doctor ever right Oh god I need to swallow you whole again I've gotta mend the old soul again all I need is some inner peace Oh god I need to swallow you whole again I've gotta mend the old soul again all I need is some inner peace Oh god I need to swallow you whole again I've gotta mend the old soul again all I need is some inner peace Give the soul a way to fly...sooth the eyes of memory Let's give it all for an answer why If you reach the heaven the spirit's on me Too much singing for my living tonight Do a song for friends and company Too much is the matter with giving on spite Here's one for the giving and the other for free
